I've got one side of the roof shingled.  Just used stiff grey card strips 8mm high and randomly cut each shingle through about 4mm with scissors.  The rest is then overlapped by the next strip.
I also cut some individual shingles on an angle, or a bit shorter and snip out bits to give it a random/rustic look.
Still to be painted.

Also got the decking done so I know how far out the awning sections will be before I do the shingles on that and the roof on the other side.
Used stir sticks for the decking, cut the width in half to represent narrower boards.

Rob,

I like those shingles. The overall
cabin looks just rustic enough for me.
